Yeah it's a tough switch. It's a lot like getting out of a relationship that you know isn't gonna work, but every time you go to end it you think "hey it isn't that bad right NOW is it?" and put it off.
A clean break would be faster and easier for everybody involved.
Now you DO stand to accrue some extra skills by spending some time with a foot in both workflows. It makes you have to learn some weird shit. But in the long run idk if that actually helps more than it hurts.
I took a long time to make the switch lol.

I know people that complain about windows, but if they were to switch to Linux, their experience would deteriorate even further. I can't get COD blackops 3 to not crash the amdgpu kernel driver.

Many are dependent on software suites that only work decently on Windows or Mac. Switching to Linux means they might have to have up on those applications. And if some alternative software exist, it’s a huge gamble to hope they support your existing workflow.
People also tend to work with other people. Whatever alternative software you might pick must also support your collaborative workflow as well.
And let us not kid ourselves, Linux is quite fragile. It’s expected that something will break at some point and you’re forced to find a solution online. Often the solution involves finding a configuration file somewhere, enter a string of characters and pray it works.
Last time I had to enter some config file was a week ago because of some issues with my keyboard.
I’m a nerd, so I’m fine with doing it. Overall I prefer the flexibilities Linux offers. But most people aren’t nerds. They don’t want to open a terminal and write strange incantations.
This right here is why you don't have a romantic partner
I think with Linux and the Fediverse there is the same problem. "Just use Linux" okay then, which one? "Use Lemmy" "Use Mastodon" okay then, what instance?
